Christmas Catalan Traditions: “Cagatio” or “Tio de Nadal”

The “Cagatio” is a typical Christmas celebration in Catalonia. It has its origin in the rural Catalan communities which wanted to pass on to their children the need of taking care of the nature to get its fruits back in spring time. Nowadays, the “cagatio” is very loved by children, because they get some small presents.
